Dudley Redhead united Football club still looking for a couple of all age men players contact drufc.interdistrict@gmail.com.au if interested.
the draw is supposed to be out tomorrow
which is quite good going really
the home draw came out a few days ago - you could have started then
Of course my round one game is at bloody 4pm, guess I won’t be getting to the Jets game that evening!
All other games at reasonable times so can’t complain apart from that.
Yeah you can, 7.30 game. Hope you guys don’t play for 3.5hours!
True. My bad.
Season starts this Friday..... get the dencorub ready!!
Also, grading seems to have changed since the initial lists sent out? We've had a couple of changes in our grade.
Anyone know why a team has had it’s first two results turned from wins to 3-0 losses? Dodgy Regos? And are they removed from the comp. O35 FRI E team.
I was going on this

yep, mistake on the team's part thinking you were eligible if you turned 35 this year, rather than eligible only after you've turned 35
I'd actually advised teams that players had to be 35 on 1 January to be eligible - this was just a case of no one paying attention or checking dates of birth
lessons learned and all that - and at least it wasn't half way through the season
yep, you're able to register while 34, just not able to take the field without losing points, copping fines and generally making yourself and your club coordinator look like idiots
first time this has happened on my watch - I'll be checking from now on
I intentionally did not the club or team as I know the guy in charge would not allow it. Cookers are well run and this is not what they do.
In all the cases I have seen where an underage player has been used in O35's, its been a case of losing all points in the games that player played.
Field an ineligible in player All Age, or unregistered in O35's though the penalty handed down is generally ejection from the comp.
this us quite a different situation to having a ring in take the field, which is deliberate cheating
this was an incorrect assumption by player and team manager that wasn't picked up by registrar
Which is how it has occurred every time I've seen an O35's team caught out with this.
Loss of points in that situation I think is far more reasonable than kicking the team out.
As you said, completely different scenario to making a conscious choice to bring in ring ins. I think the associations have the punishments correct. You are just lucky it happened so early in the season.
Can there be modifications to teams in competitions during season if a particular team is losing/winning by big margins consistently? Just trying to understand how on earth grading is done and if there are attempts to even it out during season?
Nope, once you are in a grade, that's where you stay for the season.
My gripe with gradings is that no team should be able to nominate for a grade, it should all be based on the preceding seasons results. Top two teams up, bottom two down. Everyone else stays where they are.
If your team has a big roster change, then you should be able to state a case for a grade, but the problems we have with grades at the moment are with clubs/teams being able to nominate grades and not being honest.
From the information I was told they do actually try and review player history after nomination.
However trying to correlate player history for so many clubs, plus the addition of new teams, new players etc would be bloody impossible to get right.
Half of our team this year have never strapped a boot on before, but we have a couple of blokes 35-38 years old that are quick and fit that is compensating quite well for their lack of footballing background.
Also already this year I have seen some average overall teams with one or two very strong players that can have a huge influence on a match.
Back to the eligibility conversation, I could be wrong but from what I understand if a player (from the same club obviously) fills for an all age team that isn’t their regular team, their regular all age team cannot be in a higher grade?
If this is correct, how does this work if the fill in player usually plays in the Friday night competition where the grades only goes to L, where the Saturday competitions have more grades?
Is there more flexibility given there is a higher chance the fill in player will be in a higher grade?
